Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Eastern St Helier, including near St Helier Hospital?
Yes. Our mobile vans cover the whole SM4 area, including residential streets around Rosehill Park, Middleton Road, and the hospital campus. We aim to reach you as quickly as possible with no compromise on service.
Can you programme a new car key if I’ve lost all my keys?
Absolutely. We can generate a new key from scratch for most vehicles, even if no spare exists. Using your VIN or by reading the immobiliser data directly, we cut and programme a key that works just like the original.
Will my car insurance cover the cost of a replacement key?
Some UK car insurance policies include key cover, but it’s worth checking your excess and whether claiming could affect your premium. We can provide you with a detailed invoice if needed for a claim.
How long does it take to replace a car key in Eastern St Helier?
Many jobs – including unlocking or cutting and programming a standard key – can be completed within 30 to 60 minutes. More complex jobs (like creating a key for a car with no original) may take a little longer, but we’ll always give you an honest time estimate.
Is it true you can unlock a car without damaging it?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. We use specialised tools and techniques to manipulate the locking mechanism or door frame gently. We’ll only consider alternative methods that may cause minor cosmetic marks if there’s no other safe option, and never without your consent.
